Hi all. Maintaining fairly well. Been down for almost two weeks with Kidney infection and fatigue that comes with it. Never had a UTI this serious before, but did as the doctor ordered and today I am starting to feel like my body is finally responding to 2nd round of meds. Go tomorrow for bloodwork/testing to see if there is any change in kidney function or liver. Ugh! I hate those needles as sometimes they flare up RSD and sometimes they don't. It's a gamble! LOL!!!

And.............After Appeal, Trial SCS was approved, so as soon as I'm able, I'm going for it! Funny thing is that it was approved a while back, then denied, then approved, then denied on paper, then appealed, then approved on paper. I/C couldn't get the psyche denial they so depended on. In fact, it was opined that the SCS would improve my depression. Up and down; this ride makes me so dizzy I want to vomit. LOL!

our health care system incentivized the denial of care; hopefully we've taken a small step in trying to change it.

Be well

Hi Chris

Glad you are feeling better.

My niece I am raising has trouble with kidney infections.

Put her in the hospital for a week a couple of years ago.

Did you appeal go before the state board?

I ask because I also am dealing with an appeal on my work injury.
Briefs have been filed before the work comp board and at this time we wait on a decision.

Take care.
